Your body's lymphatic system eliminates the fat cells destroyed by the Sculpsure treatment via your urine and sweat. Likely, the increased urination is the result of this lymphatic elimination process. Additionally, you should be drinking more water after the Sculpsure treatment to assist your body's lymphatic system and if you are, you should be urinating more frequently. As for the GI symptoms, we've treated more than 600 patients with Sculpsure and have not heard this complaint. That being said, the Sculpsure treatment causes stress to the body and all of us respond differently to stressors. Give your body another day or two to level out. If the GI problems persist, we recommend you first notify your Sculpsure provider, then contact your primary care provider for evaluation. We hope you have great results from your Sculpsure treatment. Beautiful wishes, Roberta Krueger, M.D. Sculpt Away body shaping + beauty lounge San Antonio, Texas
Many patients experience post-treatment discomfort and nodules to only one portion of their treatment area so I would reassure you about the differences between the left and the right side. Your treatment specialist should be documenting the areas treated so the likelihood of treating the same area twice in one visit is low. That being said, if you had two treatments back-to-back to the same area by mistake, you may experience more post-treatment inflammation to that area than you would with one treatment. We recommend you speak candidly with your provider about your concern so he/she can provide the appropriate follow up care. We hope your stress level decreases and you have great results.

We have been performing non-invasive fat reduction treatments since 2006. At Sculpt Away, we utilize many types of medical technology for fat reduction and we feel that each of these technologies can be effective when used by (1) experienced providers, (2) on the right person, (3) with the appropriate condition. After treating over 600 patients with Sculpsure since 2105, we enthusiastically recommend this treatment. It's non-invasive, involves zero downtime, should not cause pain, requires only one 25 minute treatment and destroys up to 24% of the fat in the treated area during that treatment. If you've done some research, you may have found that many providers recommend a minimum of 2-3 Sculpsure treatments. We disagree; we feel the number of treatments varies depending upon each patient's condition and goals. About 80% of our patients are satisfied after just one Sculpsure treatment. Many of the remaining patients do opt to treat again. We find that with experienced providers treating effectively and covering adequately, coupled with patient education regarding ways to assist the lymphatic system post treatment, leads to optimum results. Other considerations with Sculpsure are (1) the amount of fat and (2) the BMI. Cynosure, the manufacturer of Sculpsure, recommends Sculpsure treatment for patients with (1) small areas of unwanted fat and (2) suggests a BMI of less than 30. We, however, have seen tremendous results for patients who do not fall within these limitations. Many of such patients treated their Sculpsure treatment as motivation to start a lifestyle change with a diet and exercise program, and as a result, totally transformed their bodies - with Sculpsure and lifestyle. As with any medical treatment, for your safety and for best results, we urge you to seek the advice and care of experts in that particular field. So in this case, seek out a provider with experience and expertise in non-invasive fat reduction, and particularly with Sculpsure treatments. We hope you found this helpful.

Sculpsure destroys up to 24% of the subcutaneous fat cells in the treated area in one treatment. After the treatment, those cells will be gone from you body for good which is part of what makes Sculpsure a smart choice. Though the remaining subcutaneous fat cells can still enlarge if you gain weight, that area should not be the "trouble" area it was pre-Sculpsure treatment because so many of the subcutaneous fat cells have been eliminated. Many patients worry about creating new fat cells to replace the ones destroyed by Sculpsure. You create new fat cells only three times in your lifetime: as an infant, during puberty and during pregnancy. If you have passed all of these life events, you will not grow new fat cells. Finally, you sound like a great candidate for Sculpsure because you maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle. We advise you to seek an evaluation and assessment from a provider experienced in non-invasive body contouring treatments, and specifically one experienced in Sculpsure. We hope you have awesome results! Beautiful wishes, Roberta Krueger, M.D. Sculpt Away body shaping + beauty lounge San Antonio, Texas
After treating more than 600 patients with Sculpsure, we find it quite commonplace for patients to experience different sensations on different sides of the body. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, the applicators on one side may be placed closer to nerve pathways and/or bundles. Second, none of us are wholly symmetrical; your right side may have more fat. Patients with more fat generally experience more discomfort both during and after the treatment. You should definitely share your concerns with your provider. Allow your provider can evaluate you, provide you with an explanation and alleviate your fears and anxiety. We hope you have fantastic results! Beautiful wishes, Roberta Krueger, M.D. Sculpt Away body shaping + beauty lounge San Antonio, Texas
